we search for saving in every little crevice
of our lonesome existence
we yearn for release
and for whoever may be generous enough to grant it
it is comforting to believe in a savior
because we crave the idea of rescue
a moment of peace in this endless cycle of suffering
as if redemption could befall us from the sky
as if there was a miracle crafted from the heavens above
just for our sake
selflessly gifted and waiting to be found
to live one's life in the hope of saving
is the most poetic tragedy ever written by man
I have come to understand the charm of religion
and those who seek to pursue its principles
for if I were certain that someone out there cared enough to save me
I'd get on my knees too
